Development of an encapsulation process with polymer material for flexible solar cell devices

In this study, a suitable polymer material for the solar cell encapsulating process was selected based on its optical transmission and absorption properties characterized. An encapsulating process with the polymer material was developed in a way that the light transmission for solar cells to be encapsulated reaches up to 90%. The open circuit voltage, short circuit current, efficiency, I-V characteristics at light and dark conditions was conducted after the encapsulation process.
